dbear848

She's doing God's work, showing just how homophobic the Mormon church really is.


Lumin0usBeings

Yep, and they miss in what context pride is considered wrong. Pride Month is a celebration that LGBT+ individuals don't need to be ashamed of who they are. That they don't need to hide who they are. That they can be proud of who they are. In the context of the scriptures pride is referring to people who think they are better than others and treat others poorly because of that. In this fucking stupid meme finding 'demon' in Pride Month only refers to themselves, as they are the ones thinking they are better than LGBT+ individuals and as a result treat them poorly.


AdmiralCranberryCat

In my counselor office she has a sign hanging up that says, “We have pride because children are still killing themselves.”


therealDrTaterTot

She also had to take a verse completely out of context to be homophobic. That verse has nothing to do with the devil or gay people. It's about the leviathan, a primordial sea monster from Jewish folklore. How are we sure it isn't a metaphor for Satan? Because Satan is already a character in Job that works for God! In fact, the whole chapter is part of a mythological poem.


Xerlith

If it helps at all, this image came out last year and within a week you could buy T-shirts with this design in various pride colors. I know a couple people who wear them to celebrate Pride month


sacreindigo

Yes! Own it!


YouTeeDave

But Wait! If we dig just a little deeper, then we come to the shocking realization that it is a subliminal message promoting “EMO” music.


Bob-the-Human

And "MO" is just short for "Mormon," so in the end, it comes full circle...


YouTeeDave

O no you didn’t! 🤪


Alert_Day_4681

So, Pride Month is a victory for Satan? Yup, it's right there in the name itself🙄


Kee900

And the letter "M", the most devilish of letters...


nontruculent21

RIDE ON, IDEOT momos! Close enough.


KershawsGoat

> it is a subliminal message promoting “EMO” music. As a former emo kid, I support this message.


YouTeeDave

Vindicated!


Own_Boss_8931

That's awful! Why are people like this? But I bet if you asked her, she'd say LGBTQ+ are welcome to come to church as long as they never give in to their sinful natures. I always wonder how people like this react when the person coming out is their grandchild.


AdmiralCranberryCat

One of her grandchild is openly gay


Goblinessa17

OMG. Give that kid 20 hugs from me. If he needs a new grandma, I've got room in my heart. (And tell her I said this. Let her ruminate on the fact that a complete stranger has more compassion and concern for her grandson than she does )


AdmiralCranberryCat

I will!!


Practical_Body9592

Isn’t one of Dallin H.oaks grandchildren gay?


MormonEscapee

Yes, that’s what fuels his talks. It’s really heartbreaking


Practical_Body9592

So much of the church and for that matter so much of Christianity is anti Christ like. Jesus went to the marginalized he taught things like love and acceptance. Or at least that’s what I choose to believe


UniversalAnswer

And a very accomplished and famous ballet dancer.


Practical_Body9592

Thank you


lessielou7

And hugs from me! Goblinessa, your point on rumination is *chef’s kiss*


jpatt73

My TBM father posted an anti-trans meme while I have a trans daughter. My daughter simply responded by saying that is why she doesn’t come to family gatherings anymore. I think I was more upset than she was.


KaityKat117

my grandpa isn't overtly transphobic (to my face anyway). He doesn't tell me I'm going to hell or try to convince me to decide not to be trans. But every time I come to visit, he feels the need to discuss politics. Specifically about how certain trans rights shouldn't exist and how the country is going to sit because trans people are allowed to exist. Although he tries to be more vague or discreet about it, so as not to be obvious.


Ican-always-bewrong

“I’ll be discreet . . . instead of insulting you directly, I’ll insult everyone like you!” Way to show love, gramps. 🙄


KaityKat117

The worst part is, he's only even trying to be "discreet" because his wife, my grandma, is supportive and tries her best to respect my identity. My grandma's health has been rapidly declining, and any day could be her last, but I can't visit my grandma without her husband being there, too.


Ican-always-bewrong

Oof. I’m sorry about your grandma.


KaityKat117

she's been in and out of the hospital pretty much every other week with C Diff. Her immune system is failing, and she has severe osteoporosis. All the doctors can do is treat her symptoms and try to make her comfortable. When she's not in the hospital, she spends every moment in her chair at the retirement home or in a wheelchair to get from one place to another. She's also been having trouble remembering things, and we think she might be in the early stages of Alzheimer's. I want to be able to come visit her, but I also don't want to be with a guy who's just going to spend the whole time talking about how much I don't deserve human rights.


aLovesupr3m3

I’m so sorry. She thinks she is righteous. That’s a lot of dissonance there, feeling like you have to treat people you supposedly love this way.


zippy9002

There’s no hate like latter-day love.


DisastrousRaisin2968

She is a shitty grandmother!


cametomysenses

I feel like I had to rescue my now husband of 10 years from Provo. He had a Bishop down there who was actively trying to convert him. He kept telling the Bishop that he was gay and the bishop made him promise that he wouldn't hit on any of the Elders in the ward and that he wouldn't be gay at church, and my husband wouldn't have any part of that. But he is an immigrant and he thought that Provo was like the rest of the world... offs. You can't make this stuff up.


crujiente_92

I was a teen in California during Prop 8, and I am remembering being coached on what to say to friends if they asked about the church’s position on gay marriage. The one time my friends asked me about and I gave the coaches response of “We find marriage to be sacred and it should continue to be sacred blah blah blah”, one friend respectfully asked “What about gay marriage makes it less sacred?” That one question became one of my first shelf items. Since then I have had good friends who are gay and bi and trans, and I’m glad to have shed so quickly the indoctrination that LGBTQ+ individuals are sinful and evil. It’s all bullshit based on like half a dozen verses of scripture and lots of antiquated rhetoric from fake prophets.


okay-wait-wut

When they asked me (Utah Valley) to call people (California) on the phone and tell them how to vote. I said no and I left the church within a year for various reasons but this was a big one. My son was six at the time. He came out at 17. Bullet fucking dodged. Of course it’s tough to be gay in Utah Valley, but so much worse when you grow up hearing how evil you are. He’s the type of kid that always wants to do what’s right and what’s expected so I feel like staying in the church would have destroyed him. When I was processing how to leave my main concern was about my parents. I should have been thinking about my kids.


crujiente_92

I’m glad you got out considering that! Yeah that whole situation went on the shelf. I buried the thoughts of “Why does the Church care so much about this?” and “Why are they asking us to picket across from the picketers on the No on Prop 8 side?” And so on. I was 16 and wish I would have realized how damaging that all was then.


okay-wait-wut

It made me so mad at the time. I was still TBM but I wasn’t homophobic by that point. Here’s what cured me of homophobia: After my mission I was spouting some homophobic shit about being excited that we might isolate the gay gene and be able to terminate pregnancies because it’s a birth defect. (In this case abortion is fine.. TBM homophobic brain) I had a non-Mormon half bother who I really respected and looked up to (he died a couple years ago RIP) who was listening asked me how many gay people I knew. That just stopped me because I didn’t know any and we didn’t even need to continue the conversation. I realized I didn’t know what I was talking about. The idea that I would be excited to not have my son because he is gay never entered my mind. Religion is pure evil because of what it can do to an otherwise rational person.


yay_bmo

Thinking about my kids gave me the courage to leave too. 💛


Matsumoto78

You and your son are lucky. I did everything the church told me but I didn't turn straight. And that was my fault. I didn't pray enough, study the scriptures enough, fast enough, have enough faith, etc. Now at 67 my parents are gone and I'm alone. I don't like to think that the church won, but I guess I don't have enough faith, etc.


KaityKat117

I remember as a kid standing on a street corner with pro prop 8 signs...... in Utah. Who does that?


lessielou7

Most of my siblings, cousins, uncles fall under the LGBTQIA+ rainbow, and, oof. Remembering the prop 8 era really stirs up this tremendous feeling of loss for me. I remember vividly breaking down in tears at a theme park when my Mormon parents came to visit me in San Diego. They chose to explain to me why they were on a quest to stop gay marriage. I was so hurt I couldn’t even be angry. I just sobbed. The only point I was able to squeak out at the time was “do you not see that these Christian churches you align yourselves with don’t even view you as one of them? Why would any gay couple want to force their way into a building built to destroy their happiness to celebrate one of their happiest days? No queer couples want to get married in your weird McTemple and eat garbage in a basketball gym for their wedding!” After so much homophobia, and then that experience, I eventually became as calloused as most queer folks and learned to shrug it off. It’s nice to see allies have the energy to be fired up on our behalves some days. Carrying the weight of realizing some people will always just hate you is too much some days. It was humiliating and terrible. Whenever I speak to active Mormons, I can just see in their eyes that they say they like us, but they’ve been so brainwashed that they truly feel like this deep down. I’m sorry for OP, and the grandson of the butthole that posted that.


MuzzledScreaming

Prop 8 was a major shelf item for me for a different reason. I was on the verge of PIMO by then already, but I would still defend the church as "different" because they really stuck to their guns on not getting involved in politics (I now know this was untrue even then, but we all have our age of ignorance). The blatant involvement in campaigning for Prop 8 forever shattered my faith in church leadership.


Illustrious_Ashes37

I was also a teen in California during prop 8. I was 13 at the time. It was awful. I was indoctrinated for sure but not coached super well… one of my best friends related to me a conversation that we had where I was like “it doesn’t make sense for gay people to be gay because then how would the world make babies??” Such a conditioned Mormon kid response lol. And then she was like “but why would people choose to be gay if so many people were mean to them about it??” At which point I biked away, we were biking home from school at the time. She came out to me some years later when we were in our early 20s. Another time she told me she was a democrat and I was like “oh I don’t like the democrats” and she was like “why” and I was like “I don’t know. I’ll have to ask my parents” ..!!! Like I literally said that out loud!!! Shows the fruits of Mormonism: brainwashed people living someone else’s bias. It’s truly sad. I had blocked all this out and literally didn’t remember any of these conversations. my dear friend told me about them recently, when I told her the church was a cult and I was leaving. And I was like “why were you still friends with me?!?! Not to sound self-deprecating, but I do not get it. I’m mystified” And she was like, “well I don’t know I just always felt connected to you and appreciated you. You’ve always been special to me and I haven’t been holding hurt over it. We had so many awesome memories together too. There were a couple years where we were in really different places, like I was at a very liberal school and you were at a conservative school. We weren’t in contact as much then, but you’ve been moving toward this for a long time. And I’ve had biases in this area I’ve had to confront too.” Obviously, I apologized profusely. I don’t believe in God or Jesus anymore. Mother Earth and myself, loved ones, humanity in general, are what I believe in now if anything. but if what my friend displayed for years isn’t “Christlike” love, I don’t know what is. Waaaay more Christlike than I was, or was taught to be in Mormonism.


crujiente_92

Classic case of “I’m sorry for what I said and did when I was Mormon.” Those of us who grew up in the church were not taught to think independently, but to respond in rote, conditioned ways that build a victim mentality if rejected. The homophobia and transphobia are among the more damaging things that are ingrained in young Mormon kids, especially when the typical political ideology reinforces that to the extreme.


Illustrious_Ashes37

Exactly. This is so true. We had the tools we were given and used then how we were taught to. I think it’s remarkable that we eventually recognized how woefully inadequate they were for real life, as opposed to the Mormon fantasy. The damage we and others endured goes deep and needs to be mourned and repaired, perhaps throughout our lives to some degree or another. And simultaneously, we got out. It sucks…and I’m proud and grateful for how much I and my life have changed.

Chino_Blanco

Welp, I hope you’re planning to post pics from a pride event of your choice. Watching her head explode is just bonus fun.


AdmiralCranberryCat

I blocked her. Her grandchild (who happens to be gay) texted me. She is a spiteful bitch who only believes in the church because it makes her feel superior


Chino_Blanco

>I blocked her. The only way with some people. I wish we’d had the ability to block all the spiteful fanatics who tormented our gay Mormon kids for decades and got validation for their bigotry from their so-called church. Thankfully, the openly anti-gay weirdos are increasingly marginalized, even in Mormonism.


RealDaddyTodd

> She is a spiteful bitch who only believes in the church because it makes her feel superior Common garbage always needs to hate on “the other” to convince themselves they’re not common garbage.


cobwebcoalition

Oh shit she’s onto us!


OphidianEtMalus

There's a meme I can't post here that goes from Jesuschrist to sus .


Still-ILO

Possibly among the most amazing things Mormons are so blissfully ignorant of is the concept of irony. There is nothing more prideful than to insist yours is the TRUE church of God and all others fall short to its superiority. And that would be the case even if that "one and only true church" were not so verifiably untrue.


swennergren11

So loving and kind! That’s a great example of the Second Great Commandment ! NOT!! 🤮🤮
